Josef,
I am suggesting that you use the firewall on the local server, not the network
("holly") firewall.
If you have access to the server, you can configure a local firewall. Both
Windows and
Linux have built-in firewalls, and generally they are already active, but you
may need
to turn them on if they are disabled, and they will need to be configured to
open and
close port 8080.
